Exegesis
The dative series Mnasoni tini Kypriō archaiō mathētē {Μνάσωνί τινι Κυπρίῳ ἀρχαίῳ μαθητῇ | Mnásōni tini Kypríō archaíō mathētē} appositionally identifies the host as ‘Mnason, a certain Cypriot and early disciple’, with archaiō emphasizing his status as one of the first believers. In translation, the participle and relative structures are rendered as coordinated descriptive clauses to preserve sequence and to convey the purpose and relationships of the original Greek.
In context — Acts 21:16
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing us to Mnason, a Cypriot and an early disciple, with whom we might stay .
